I know I’m AT LEAST a couple of years late to this trend, but I really, really want a straw fedora. Not only because they’re darn cute, but also because of the beauty angle: they cover up bad hair and shield you from the (wrinkle- and freckle-inducing) sun. Here are six options at various price points. [ChickAdvisor]

I’m not the only one loving this addictive Monoï body oil from Fruits & Passion—when I tweeted about it the other day, FASHION’s beauty editor agreed that it’s “a keeper.”

One of my favourite discoveries lately is Vapour Organic Beauty. The entire makeup line is great (their foundation is a new staple) and I still can’t believe it’s all natural.
